Improved Airport Experience

We have a changing community and our anchor is the host culture. So plesae connect with Filipinos, other Pacific Islands erc. That way, regenerative is defined well.

Not sure where this fits but have local newscasters please do not wear suites and ties for the men

Showing the people of Hawaii and their communities that they are the priorty, they matter and are valued

Zero carbon goals

Determine carrying capacity including the number of residents, military, tourists for each island, each community, beaches, cultural sites, hiking trails etc. per day and month.

Support all HTA strategic plan pillars - not just "marketing". It feels like "advertising" is the giant pillar and the others relatively small pillars. And clarify to stakeholders that "marketing" doesn't equal "advertising" - it covers the range from client needs assessment, product development, all the way through advertising and the feedback loop a�er the product is delivered.

Reach out to the community and listen to their concerns. This has been an issue with covid and community, as well as the concerns addressed here.

Let's make the private rentals prove to us why they should have a license, not gong with a simple lottery to see who gets a license

Interaction of legislature with key customers (Leisure and MCI) to share the message so there is more understanding of the hospitality viewpoint.

Fund signage and local tour educators to mālama their ahupua'a and find resources to continue that cultural awareness

Diversify hta board

We need better vocabulary for the players in this. We are all living here, even if it's only for a week.

Funding is key. Most of the good words and thoughts are not new.

Please consider adding actions that mitigate invasive species intro and spread.

More options for state maintained trails with fees to cover restoration and preservation to decant areas being run into the ground

Make high visitor fees that go back into conservation

Vacation rental control and contribution to local cultures and programs.

receive the support of the elected officials to let HTA do their job and support the community

We must allocate needed funds to agencies who can help reverse the damage done to our state.

More sustainability within industries and businesses

Educate tourists on how to be responsible - health, culture, environmental.

Manage the bathrooms and showers at the beaches since both residents and visitors use them. Our crown jewel.

Being able to make Best Management Practices that are not economically driven but more protection of our natural and cultural resources.

Invest in marketing cultural educational content that can partner with hotels, airlines, etc. .. ie: Intro video of Hawaiian values on flights heading to Hawaii and QR code's to download and continue watching

Include the overall community in the input including military and government residents

Improve Airport Experience (Fast, Efficient) so visitors can get out of their and spend their time

Continue to explore ways to limit the number of non-resident visitors beyond limiting non-licensed short-term rentals.

Responses

Partner with the legislation to prioritize the TAT funding that is not reinvested in HTA and gain more transparency overall (ie where does the other $500million get spent to support infrastructure, parks, resources)

Proactive communication & education with visitors prior to arrival

More specific information on YouTube to educate before guests come ... on specific topics. Wave education is key.

Eliminate Single-Use Plastic in Hawaii so waste is not such a big problem - we are an island

Support tourism industry workers- better pay and more advancement and educational opportunities

The culture of Aloha is built on the shoulders of locals. Happy locals = happy tourists who will return.

We must have a mxumum number of arrivals into Oahu. Quality of life & pleasant vacation is more important than money.

Limit the number of rental cars

More partnership opportunities with tourism industry companies "adopting" locations and helping to maintain them "together" with state and local workers.

Develop our youth to become the future leaders to carry on this vision in collaboration, cultural appropriateness, and cross-sector connections to make sure we mālama i ko kākou home in perpetuity.

Capping visitors per year

develop a volunteer program within communities to assist with monitoring and enforcing rules in critical areas

Manage marketing contractors so that their messages and visitors are more aligned with the plan. I can't forget the marketing video that featured parrots in a rainforest that was NOT Hawaii.

Tourism experts with authority in other gov departments

Have tourist reserve to come to hawaii that is how you could keep track of them

seeking alternative short term revenue sources; example - analyze existing real estate licensing laws to seek registration of all rental agents of vacation rentals. HTA could use this as a revenue opportunity to be the central agency with licensing oversight.

Continue to communicate and use community outreach as much as possible

More Community partnerships and empower HTA to collaborate with other agencies...make a HUI

Work with the counties to manage our resources. Too many tents and umbrellas taking up the beaches. Need to look at revenue for the counties.

Involve our schools so they learn about the communities they live in and develop the respect we need for long term sustainability

Synergy with existing orgs & E Ohana Hou. No one le� behind

Encourage educate NEW residents to connect them to the aina and people of our history legacies and aloha

Keep HTA more funded

The state needs to gather all the community service projects and and organizations where a tourist can participate before they come so they know what the

Working with community leaders to attract sustainable group business (like John's IUCN reference)

Educate residents how MICE visitors contribute to our local economy and community, especially CSR opportunities. MICE visitors don't necessarily behave the same as some FIT visitors.

This could be a huge platform for green jobs, including entry level - let's stop the brain drain!

Focus on appropriate cultural integration within visual advertisement in Waikiki and beyond

Supporting regulating commercial tours and their presence and use ofbour beaches AND their penetrating residential areas to get to attravtuons/beaches

ACtive participation in High Schools with tourism programs

Educate legislators on the importance of supporting these initiatives.

Incentive high guest to visitor ratios (i.e. more local jobs)

Collabrative organization to Focus on decedent residents that are struggling as tourist drive up cost of living

Limit the number of hotel rooms

Better enforcement of laws especially protecting our nature and sealife

Follow up committees/Recommendations by planning district

Recognize and support those that are doing it well so the industry has positive examples, and hopefully to help encourage - and ideally build capacity - of those doing it well.

Off peak revitalization of natural resources

Resident education to take care of oahu

HTA RECEIVE THE PROPER FUNDING TO MARKET HAWAII

We must have a reporting system for residents to report, and have action taken, when illegal operations, unsafe situations, etc. We feel powerless now.

If you make Hawai'i good for Native Hawaiians, it will be good for everyone.

is there any current data that supports the vision of these desired visitors?

Reduce the amount of people coming in general - its unfair to focus just on short term rentals - why not limit hotel growth and limit expansion?

Seeding feasibility studies for activities which meet the DMP guidelines.

It's important to educated tourists on how to be responsible stewards of our Aina, but also important for locals (especially younger ones) to Malama our

Partnerships with private companies who can "adopt" areas such as trails, etc..

Involve the generations to come: they need to be excited about keeping this new industry going.

It is critical we define the lead agency(ies) that are responsible to manage tourism. As noted, the City and DLNR do not currently have the capacity.

Policies and/or programs that prioritize residents interests and efforts to partner with other industries outside of tourism. Diversify.

Incentivize sustainable business practices

What is our Tourism Culture

If you make Hawai`i good for the residents, it will be good for our visitors

Each community has its own issues. On size will not fit all.

Pauses in tourism or no tourism windows INFRASTRUCTURE

One issue which should be addressed is the management of tourism services vendors to ensure that they deliver their experiences with minimal impact on citizens. There should be a Vendor Management entity in HTA to work with vendors to minimize impacts and to accept complaints and work with vendors to resolve. The approach can be collaborative rather than having to have legal authority. Examples which come to mind are tour busses with loud speakers (where in Europe they have headphones), Segways running people over on sidewalks in Waikiki, Surf Schools using Kuhio beach and park and parking all day in 2 hour limit areas. There are plenty more. Bob M. mentioned a "Pono" certification for vendors. This entity could be used to designate vendors who are deserving.
